Chapter 35: The Night of Ningyuan
The pigeon is a creature that can coo, it is a kind of stewed and braised pigeon, salt-baked and stir-fried, how to make it delicious little things. Although it looks cute, it tastes better after all. So compared to some of the other controversial ingredients, the pigeon is generally accepted by everyone - after all, it tastes like eating a chicken that is not very big.
The Healthy Stir-fry Restaurant is a new store near Ningyuan Medical College. The storefront has two floors above and below, and it looks quite ordinary. But the business in the store is a little too good. Needless to say, business is as good as a weekend afternoon emergency room. It's not a traditional mealtime, and it's full of people โ it's the delivery guys in yellow and blue jackets.
The restaurant tastes good and the business is booming, but the restaurant still maintains a very good customer attitude, which is not easy (the cow shows out and gets beaten). The most distinctive thing is that the chef not only has a good grasp of the existing dishes, but also is keen to develop new dishes. When the new dish is developed to the level of another brand, the new dish will be put on the official menu for people to choose from.
And Babao chestnut fragrant pigeon is such a "development dish". Because of the need for continuous trial and adjustment, a large number of "semi-finished products" or "defective products" will inevitably be produced in the middle. In line with the concept of "don't waste", the Healthy Stir-fry Restaurant will take out these dishes and sell them at a discount. And the price is ...... It's 78 apiece.
Yes, a pigeon, 78 pieces. According to Sun Lien's registration fee of 10 yuan per person, and the level of only 5 yuan in his hand, this pigeon is equivalent to Sun Lien's treatment of 16 people.
"It's not cheap......" I heard that I was going to buy a healthy stir-fry restaurant for supper, and many emergency doctors came over. As a result, when I looked at the price, everyone was a little discouraged. Usually for supper, a barbecue of more than a dozen yuan is enough. 78 pigeons...... There are generally only more than forty or fifty-one roast pigeons in the city, and the doctors who came to make up the delivery fee for takeaway were suddenly half dispersed.
Doctor Cao waved his hand, "No, I'm too old today, I must eat pigeon meat to make up for it!" He glanced at Sun Lien, "Today's takeaway, you pay for the freight!"
Shipping means that you don't have to treat yourself. Of course, Sun Lien was grateful, and the red banknotes in his wallet seemed to survive for about two more days.
"I'll just eat one with Lien. Buy two more for Sister Xu. Hu Jia didn't know where she came out, she was wearing her own clothes, and it seemed that she was going to go to the operating room. "I'll eat when I come out, I'll go to the operating room first!"
Xu Yourong and Rachel followed behind Hu Jia and added, "Dean Liu told us to go to the operating room, and we will talk about it when we are busy." โ

Rachel drove the car and took everyone back from Ninghu Resort, first put Sun Lien in the hospital, and then turned around and sent Xu Yourong's family and Hu Jia back respectively. Originally, the plan discussed by everyone was that after sending Hu Jia off, Rachel would go to Xu's house to meet him. Unexpectedly, not long after the car drove out of the resort, she and Xu Yourong received invitations from Pani and Todd.
Dr. Pascal's two children strongly invited Rachel and Xu Yourong to their hotel. The specific reason for the invitation was that "I can't understand Chinese textbooks".
Dr. Pascal has decided to take up a position at the Fourth Central Hospital. But there is still some regrettable change in this decision โ if Pani and Todd are not able to adapt to the Chinese school and educational environment, Dr. Pascal will have to return to the United States with his family. Although his career can definitely achieve great achievements with the assistance of the Fourth Central Hospital and Ningyuan Medical College, if these achievements are based on the discomfort of his family, then Lao Paning himself will be so mediocre for the rest of his life. The progress of human health is of course important, but for him, family comes first. Anyway, there are many other experts in this field, and even the absence of him doesn't seem to be a big loss.
As expected, although the international school for foreign children in Ningyuan was chosen, because a large number of ready-made teaching materials were used in Chinese education and mathematics education, there was a huge difference in difficulty from American schools. For Pani, who is supposed to be in first grade, these differences are at least acceptable. But Todd ...... It's more miserable.
In terms of language education, the national syllabus requires third-grade students to master 550 commonly used Chinese characters, be able to write proficiently with pencils, and begin to use a brush to draw red. In the third year of mathematics, students enter the field of multiplication and division of two-digit numbers, addition and subtraction of the same denominator, basic knowledge of geometry, and so on.
And in the United States...... Multiplication and division is a fourth-grade math component. Since the U.S. Department of Education abolished the "memorization part of math," the ninety-nine multiplication table, thirty years ago, multiplication and division has been pushed back in the U.S. education system. From "starting to memorize at the age of seven" in the past, to "mastering the corresponding concepts in the fourth grade". Methods such as "quality for the common class" and pleasure education have actually become one of the important reasons that limit the development of scientific ideas in the United States. That's another reason why Dr. Pascal chose to come to China โ the content of the pre-university education, which is significantly more popular than the United States for a scientist.
And Todd, who was at a loss for this, couldn't find anyone to ask for advice in Ningyuan, who was unfamiliar with his life. Dr. Pascal and his wife were busy with all sorts of things every day, so he had to call Rachel for help.
In math, of course, Rachel can help, but she doesn't know anything about Chinese characters. Although she can understand and speak, there are really few Chinese characters that Rachel can recognize. Therefore, Xu Yourong was also pulled by her to be a tutor.
Todd's self-tutoring began at half-past eight in the evening, and by about ten o'clock, when he and Penny were too sleepy to open their eyes, Rachel was kind enough to let the two of them go to bed.
"What's your next arrangement?" Rachel's room was upstairs from Dr. Pascal's family, and after watching the two children fall asleep, she first called Mrs. Pascal to report, and after hanging up the phone, she looked at Xu Yourong with a smile and asked, "Go upstairs with me for two drinks?"
Xu Yourong glanced at her, "I'm a neurosurgeon." โ
"Huh?" Rachel took Xu Yourong's hand and walked towards her room, "I thought you were going to work in the emergency department for the rest of the year." โ
"Even if I work in the emergency department, I'm a neurosurgeon. Xu Yourong raised his hand and tapped on the top of Rachel's head, "Neurosurgeons are not allowed to drink, this is the rule." โ
"Before I met your parents in person, I always thought that one of the two of them must be German. Rachel grumbled, "I've never seen a few Chinese people put the word 'rules' on their lips." โ
Xu Yourong directly punctured the inappropriateness in Rachel's speech, "Before you came to China, you only saw me as a Chinese. โ
The two walked upstairs talking and laughing, and Xu Yourong's mobile phone suddenly rang.
"It's me. Xu Yourong, who answered the phone, habitually switched to the power-saving mode, "Okay, I'll go over right away." โ
"Have a job again?" Rachel was very accustomed to Xu Yourong's conversation, and she directly deduced the content on the other end of the phone. "I'm going to the hospital now, emergency surgery?"
"Rare cases. Xu Yourong put the phone back in his satchel, then muttered for a moment, and suddenly said to Rachel, "You drive with me to pick up Hu Jia, and then go to the hospital." You may be able to help with this case as well. โ

"Then why don't you go to the operating room to be on call, why did you come to me?" Sun Lien found a mop bucket and disinfectant, and began to clean up the dirt in the ninth consultation room. He lowered his head and dragged the floor as he asked Rachel, "You don't usually see cancer patients in the emergency clinic at night." โ
"I want to see what the hell is so special about you. Rachel's answer was straightforward, "Yourong told me that she might become an emergency doctor in the future." I wonder what is so special about you that she can have this change. โ
Sun Lien rolled his eyes, in the current emergency department, he is simply the brightest star in the night sky. Countless bigwigs are interested in him to death. But in addition to having a little more endorsement, the biggest difference between him and other ordinary doctors is that he has a status bar. And this biggest difference is not to be seen by others in any way.
"Besides, you've even finished the gamma knife. Rachel continued, "I'm not a neurosurgeon, so I can't help with preparing a craniotomy. Her voice suddenly became a little soft, "I don't dare to observe the operation, so I'll pass the time with you." โ
Sun Lien lowered his head and dragged the ground, he was not interested in the reason why Rachel did not dare to observe the operation. If necessary, she herself will say. And on the premise that the other party did not take the initiative to explain, with the relationship between him and Rachel who are not too familiar, it would be a bit rude to ask rashly.
"Then again. Rachel sat down on the bed in the examination room, swinging her legs back and forth in mid-air and asked, "Why do you have to do such a thing as cleaning?
Sun Lien straightened up, straightened his somewhat sore waist, and replied with a wry smile, "You must know that the salary of a regular doctor like mine is much lower than that of the cleaner comrades. The night shift cleaner is mainly responsible for the sanitation and cleaning of the treatment room, rescue room and rescue hall. In the clinic, we have to do it ourselves. โ
The salary of a trainee doctor is lower than that of a cleaner, which is not a joke. Taking the Fourth Central Hospital as an example, the cleaners and aunts work 28 days a month with a basic salary of 2,400 yuan. There is also night shift allowance, overtime allowance, and protection allowance. Counting the allowance, the part received in a month is about 3800 to 4000. If you are a cleaning foreman, the income is higher.
Regarding this difference, Liu Tangchun once made a very wonderful comment. "People work so hard that they don't know how many sources of infection they have to come into contact with every day in the hospital. It is natural for you to get a higher salary! You don't have any ideas about regular training, you still have room for promotion in the future, but they don't!"
"Anyway, it's cheaper to use your words. Rachel laughed and asked, "You're going to be on duty all night today?"
"Sister, I'm dying of busyness. Sun Lien learned the lesson of Dr. Cao before and resolutely did not say "idle". "I'm almost half a marathon inside and outside the house today. All-nighters, I don't count. โ
"Doctor?" the two men were talking, when a familiar voice suddenly sounded outside the door. "Please come and take a look, my mother is shouting about back pain again!"
